Kőbánya, Budapest’s 10th district, is often overlooked by tourists. However, this industrial area boasts some hidden treasures that make a visit worthwhile. Explore the exquisite Saint Ladislaus Church, an architectural masterpiece by Ödön Lechner, an intriguing Art Deco Evangelical church, or the vibrant Chinese district offering authentic cuisine. Additionally, Kőbánya reveals stunning Art Nouveau buildings, many designed by an architect named Richárd Schöntheil. The featured building in my photograph, situated at Hölgy utca 16 and constructed in 1905-06 for the affluent merchant Károly Lőwy, is just one example. In 1911, Schöntheil also created the Kőbánya Synagogue, now transformed into an ecumenical neoprotestant church known as the “Everyone Church” (Mindenki Temploma).
